The Turning Count Traffic Survey is designed to capture data on vehicle turning movements at key Intersections. Surveyors are responsible for counting and categorizing vehicles as they turn left, right, or go straight through the junction. It's important to be stationed at the assigned location with a clear view of all lanes and traffic directions. Data collection should occur during the designated timeframes, ensuring that no gaps occur in the recorded counts.
Surveyors will need to categorize vehicles by type—such as cars, trucks, buses, and motorbikes—and record the direction of each vehicle movement. For accuracy, counts should be inputted in real-time using the provided forms or electronic devices, ensuring all data is precise before submission. Any unusual traffic events, such as accidents or road closures, should be noted and reported for additional context.
